" If a human being's psychic capacitites can be augmented enough, the distinction between 'real' and 'virtual worlds' becomes even more blurred. Technology is always an attempt to extend our abilities in ways that mystics and yogis have claimed are possible without any outside crutches, if only we had the time and energy to achieve them." -- Narada "The time and energy that would be availabe if we were immortal? Do we have all the time and all the energy now because everything is always now?" -- Robert C. Cohen |
